Final Front Cover!

I have finished creating the front cover of my magazine. As you can see there isnt a great deal that I have changed to it. I have stuck to the consistent house style and have only used the colours red, yellow, black and white to help the readers idenfity and recognise the genre of my magazine.
In the end I decided not to include another inducement on the front cover as I felt this would take up to much room on the page and would draw too much attention away from the main image as it would be covering a large part of it. The inducement I was going to include on the front cover was a chance to win free tickets to certain gigs, however as I did not feel this was a good thing to do on my front page I decided to include it on my contents page instead.

Another thing that needed changing was the barcode. When I first placed this on my magazine it was blurry and inclear so the readers would not be able to read it and identify what issue tha magazine was and the price of it which is very important so I researched a picture of a clearer and blank barcode and wrote the text in myself underneath. I also rotated the barcode as this allowed me more room for the writing to be larger and therefore easier to read. I also edited the main image to make the colours more vibrant and to draw even more attention to the celebrities eyes as this is a good way that rock magazines draw in the readers attention.
